Question 2 • AZ-US/AZ History B (SS302)
Many young men volunteered because they hoped their deaths would help Japan win the war, even as the military situation worsened. Patriotism, a belief in self-sacrifice, and pressure or necessity also influenced them. They generally understood that these missions were expected to be fatal, so choice B is incorrect; saying they simply wanted to die or had given up hope does not capture their motives.
